JORDAN. Airport International Group has been honoured by His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein with the Silver Jubilee Medal in recognition of invaluable contributions to the service of Jordan, particularly local communities.
Airport International Group, alongside several other local institutions and individuals, received the accolade during a meeting held at the Royal Hashemite Court on 18 December.
Airport International Group was represented by CEO Nicolas Deviller at the ceremony, attended by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II. The gathering brought together local community leaders and other prominent figures to commemorate Jordan’s achievements over the past 25 years under His Majesty’s leadership.
The prestigious accolade praises Airport International Group’s significant role as the operator of Queen Alia International Airport. It underscores the company’s sustained efforts to elevate the airport’s operations and customer experience, solidifying its position as Jordan’s prime gateway to the world and reflecting its substantial contributions to the Kingdom’s progress throughout His Majesty’s reign.
“We are incredibly proud to have received this acknowledgment from His Majesty on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee,” commented Airport International Group CEO, Nicolas Deviller.
“This medal stands as a testament to our steadfast dedication to serving Jordan by shaping an international airport that prioritises passenger satisfaction and empowers the local community, all while promoting climate protection and contributing to the national economy,” commented Deviller.
“As His Majesty remarked, Amman is one of the great capitals of the world and holds a special place in the hearts of Jordanians. A symbol of beauty, peace and love, Amman embodies the warm and welcoming Jordanian hospitality that makes every visitor feel at home – a standard we strive to uphold at QAIA.
“This feat would not have been possible without the unwavering commitment of our exceptional teams, partners and stakeholders who have transformed QAIA into a globally recognised, award-winning facility.”
